Assess the health of your DevOps implementation with the new SAFe® DevOps Health Radar

Embracing DevOps and building a Continuous Delivery Pipeline is a significant journey for most enterprises. How do you know how well you are doing, where you are on this journey, and what the next step toward improvement should be?

The new SAFe DevOps Health Radar helps Agile Release Trains assess their ability to Release on Demand. Created with Scaled Agile Platform-Plus Partner, Agile Transformation, it provides instant results and benchmark comparisons as it drills down into 16 sub-dimensions for DevOps.

To support the fast-growing practice of SAFe around the world, the SAFe Glossary has been professionally translated to nine languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, Finnish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. It includes 90 foundational terms plus 50 of the most common abbreviations and acronyms. Go to scaledagileframework.com/glossary.

In this 16-minute video with Kegon's Michele Lanzinger, SAFe creator Dean Leffingwell discusses the future of SAFe in Europe, SAFe for Government, how SPCs are changing the world, and what keeps him awake at night.

Large Solution level key to managing diverse entities for Finland’s largest telecom provider

"SAFe seemed like a 1-to-1 match for us. Someone had already come up with a model to address our needs, which brought better requirements management, prioritization, governance, and a common language for the entire organization."
—Risto Reinikainen, Head of Lean Agile Center of Excellence

In the competitive, fast-moving telecom market, Telia Finland sought to deliver more capabilities to customers, but long-standing waterfall methods kept it from moving forward. Since moving to SAFe, the company reports quantitative and qualitative results to show its progress:

39% more capabilities

34% less cost

94% accuracy delivering on commitments for a major rebranding

Teams deliver incrementally and more often

People are more engaged in, and satisfied with, their work

There’s an inspiring aspect to their story that has to do with a major rebranding effort—literally changing the company’s look overnight—that was so well executed the transition appeared seamless to customers and the public.
